Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
So my thinking behind the above is:
- E400MMC kept at Consett to allow flexibility for early morning, evening and Sunday workings.
- Newer & proven StreetDecks allocated to the X21, most with the newer higher interior spec.
- 6064 still available at Consett as a last resort spare for the 47/X45/X71/X72 on top of 2x E400MMC.
- Service 47 upgraded with newer vehicles. Most B5TLs on more suitable work with depots nearby at both ends of the route, Riverside have already supported the B5TL so could pick up any issues at the MetroCentre / Newcastle end of the route.
- 4x B5LH can be withdrawn or reallocated to misc workings with more suitable B9TLs allocated in place, with them also doing more suitable work given their history on the X9/X10 and 10/10A/10B.
- 2x extra B9TLs for Riverside in conjunction with changes to service 58.
